just some 9-1-1 headcanons/plot bunnies

so i've kinda gone on a 9-1-1 deep dive that started out casual and rapidly turned into an obsession. a few things to note, i definitely think that buck and eddie have something (whether it's romantic or queerplatonic is up for grabs but there's something beyond friendship there and no one can convince me otherwise) and i am a strong subscriber to any tropes that strongly encourage found family/families so...make of that what you will

anyway, after binging all of the available episodes, i have several headcanons that i want to put out there (for some reason a lot of them are from season 5???)

ana realizing that there's more to eddie and buck's relationship than it seems in that scene from s5e2 when she brings christopher to the station. buck clocks that eddie has started panicking immediately and ana just like. *looks* at him for a few seconds in a way that just makes me think that this woman clocked that they have a deeper than normal connection to one another. that or she's heard about buck but obviously has never seen eddie and buck interact and is suddenly realizing exactly what people keep trying to tell her about

a buck/eddie-focused exploration of the aftermath of 'brawl in cell block 9-1-1'. buck freaking out once mitchell's been carted off to get his heart taken out and refusing to let eddie go anywhere while checking him for injuries, eddie having some uncomfortable realizations about just how affected buck was by the whole experience. personally, i feel that would lead to them actually talking about the sniper and all the mess that goes with it

lots of potential for temporary angst with eddie having a lot of big feelings about having failed as a husband in his marriage to shannon and not wanting to get married again b/c of it (thinks he doesn't deserve another shot at it? thinks there's something fundamentally wrong with him to where he can't? don't know how this would manifest exactly). personally, i see this eventually leading to him and buck realizing that they're more or less functionally married and they may as well reap some tax benefits from it but you can do whatever you want with that

buck goes to the funerals of many of the people who die on calls that he's a part of. it's mostly people that he directly worked on and he doesn't tend to tell anyone that he's a first responder that was involved (b/c of how devon's sister reacted in s1) but he does go to them.

kinda of tied to the headcanon above this but! buck getting adopted by a bunch of older queer folk following the deaths of mitchell and thomas in s2. he goes to the joint funeral that was planned for the two of them, in part b/c he wants/needs to and in part bc he accidentally took a few photos from the scrapbook from the scene (he shoved them in his pocket on instinct when thomas collapses). anyway, he shows up and the older queer community has rallied to show up at the funeral and they recognize him as someone who needs more found family and just adopt him into their ranks. i could see the 118 finding out about this soon after it happens or not until years later; maybe karen and hen finding out sooner than everyone else but buck asks them to keep it quiet?

s5e14 where jee-yun gets sick? what if it actually WAS leukemia and she somehow ends up needing some sort of donation (plasma? bone marrow? idk really anything about how cancer is treated). jee's put on a list and they start testing family members, none of whom work out until...buck. cue maddie not wanting to ask that of buck b/c of all the baggage that comes with daniel and the buckley parents are absolute assholes about it (along the lines of completely disregarding buck's autonomy as a human being in the face of their precious granddaughter being in trouble), maybe a chimney that isn't trying to be pushy about it but also just...can't help pushing a bit, a buck that so overwhelmed with everything that he's feeling that he goes off the rails a bit. obviously everything works out and buck donates or whatever needs to happen and jee-yun is completely fine b/c i don't actually want it to end badly

the entire 'buck's a sperm donor' family argument and maraget saying "you're a miracle baby yourself" made my fucking blood boil and i want to see a better exploration of the fallout of that statement b/c you just know that there was more to it than it just getting brushed off

buck telling maddie that he has a checklist that he goes through every time he wakes up post-coma in s6e12. chris and eddie being part of that list, where buck is just constantly checking up on them to make sure that they're still in LA (part of the reason why it's so easy for him to fall asleep/relax on the diaz couch or in their house in general). eddie doesn't notice the uptick in check-ins b/c he's too busy figuring out the least intrusive ways for him to check in on buck at all times b/c he NEEDS to know that buck is alive/breathing. once eddie notices though, he confronts buck about it

maddie asking buck to be her maid of honor for her wedding since hen is obviously going to have best man privileges. mostly just exploring the ridiculous that this brings up and everyone joking about buck in a dress (up to you whether he actually wears one to the wedding or not), but i have to include a side note that the buckley parents are dicks about it and have no sense of humour/fun

literally anything featuring athena being worried about buck as a maternal figure, i was so disappointed by her lack of interaction when buck was struck by lightning and, while i'm so fucking happy to have may acknowledging that buck is bobby's son too, we missed out on athena being devastated by the situation as well

there will probably be more of these to come at some point knowing myself.

For the tv series ask meme: Btvs and Ats

ANON YOU HAVE MY HEART FOR SENDING THIS IN 💜💜💜💜💜

Under a cut bc it's a bit long.

Buffy first!

Favorite character: Faith Lehane. I'm pretty sure I loved her from the moment we were introduced to her, but over the years she's become my favorite character of all time.

Funniest character: I have to say Xander. Now that I'm past hating him for no good reason, he's genuinely funny and endearing when he's not being a stupid teenager (with obvious problems).

Best-looking character: I'm not gonna say Faith again (even tho I could) so we'll say Giles. Now that I'm no longer a teen myself, he's *very attractive* to me.

Top 3 ships: Bangel forever 💖, Willow/Tara, and Willow/Oz (helps that I'm very fond of Willow, Tara, and Oz separately, as well)

Least favorite character: this is a little petty, but it's gotta be Glory for me. I just never really cared for her and I don't get why such a big portion of the fandom loves her. 🤷‍♀️

Least favorite ship: Spuffy. I just don't like the way it was handled.

Reason why I watch: it's been over 10 years. I'm here forever at this point. (it's not strictly nostalgia, but)

Why I started watching: I just caught it on TV one night. I had never really heard of it, but I had had a vampire phase in middle school (I was a sophomore at the time) and it sounded neat. My first episode was the season 1 finale, "Prophecy Girl", and I was hooked from then on.

Angel now!

Favorite character: Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, followed *very* closely by Cordelia Chase. They both had such great character growth in the first couple of seasons, it's a shame the writing got in the way. (half-joking)

Funniest character: probably Cordy again. I've laughed out loud at so many of her lines, and she's so blunt about everything, too.

Best-looking character: season 4 Wesley. Like, I'm into him no matter what, but the styling for him in season 4 is *chef's kiss*

Top 3 ships: the only ship I'm really invested in is Fred/Gunn (used to be very into Fred/Wesley, but not anymore). I have a ship tag for Angel/Wes, but honestly that's just me-specific brain rot. :3

Least favorite character: I actually don't think I have one. There isn't anyone coming to mind who I just can't stand. Surprising for me, really.

Least favorite ship: Jasmine!Cordelia/Connor. I think that's how you'd specify this one. I just hate knowing that it happened at all. Gross.

Reason why I watch: Again. It's been 10 years.

Why I started watching: I was watching Buffy and I found out Angel (who I also love) had gotten his own show, so I started watching it when I was somewhere around season 3 or 4 of BTVS. (started with a questionable episode, too lol. "Expecting" from season. The only plus from that is that it got me fully obsessed with Wes and Cordy as characters)
